Avrupa’daki İslamofobinin ‘Avrupalı’ Sebepleri

İslamofobi, Avrupa’nın yaklaşık son çeyrek asrına damgasını vuran en önemli meselelerden biridir. Her ne kadar günden güne derinliği ve yaygınlığı artan bu meselenin sebepleri Müslümanlardan kaynaklanan bir takım olumsuzluklara bağlansa da, Avrupa’daki İslamofobinin asıl sebepleri bizzat Avrupa devletlerinin ve toplumlarının tutumlarında aranmalıdır. Bu makalede, İslamofobinin tanımı ve Avrupa ülkelerindeki somut görünümü hakkında bilgiler verildikten sonra, çeşitli aktörler ve araçlar (entelektüeller, politikacılar, medya ve eğitim politikaları) üzerinden söz konusu asıl sebeplerin açıklanmasına çalışılacaktır.

'European' Causes of Islamophobia in Europe

Islamophobia is one of the most important issues that made its mark in the last quarter of Europe. Although the causes of the issue, the depth and prevalence of which has been increasing day by day, are associated with problems arising from Muslims, the main causes of Islamophobia in Europe should be sought in the attitudes of European states and societies. In this article; after presenting information about the definition and concrete appearance of Islamophobia in European countries, these principal causes will be attempted to explain through various actors and instruments (intellectuals, politicians, media and education policies).
